Mike Morgan returns to the airwaves on 1400

Mike Morgan is returning to Columbia’s airwaves next month.

The former play-by-play announcer for South Carolina’s men’s basketball and baseball teams will co-host an afternoon sports-talk show on WCOS-AM (1400 The Team) beginning Aug. 6, an official with the station said Thursday.

The popular Morgan resigned under pressure in April in the middle of baseball season following a dispute with a major sponsor on the Gamecock Radio Network. Morgan also lost his spot at WNKT-FM (107.5 The Game), the flagship station for USC sports where Morgan co-hosted a daily talk show.

In his new gig, Morgan will join former USC linebacker Corey Miller and J.C. Shurburtt, whose midday show, The Box, will move to the 3-6 p.m. slot that currently features Mark “Pack- man” Packer’s syndicated show from Charlotte.

This will be Morgan’s second stint with Clear Channel, which owns WCOS.
